TYING YET ANOTHER ONE ON: Cosmos manage a home point on Ledesma’s late PK

BROOKLYN, N.Y. — There are two ways to look at the Cosmos’ 1-1 draw with Indy Eleven at MCU Park Wednesday night.

The managed to tie the North American Soccer League match on Emmanuel Ledesma’s penalty kick in the 86th minute and secure one point before a season-high crowd of 6,734.

On the other hand, they squandered two points because they failed to win at home again.

Like it or not, what once was a stone fortress where visiting teams failed in their quest to best the Cosmos (5-3-6, 21 points) has become a wooden fort that is easily invaded.

That could cost the Cosmos down the road.

As it is, they are 2-2-4 at home, accruing only 10 out of a possible 24 points.

“I think we could have utilized more spaces to create danger,” Cosmos head coach Giovanni Savarese said. “Even though we were able to fight back and get a tie, we could have done more to win the game.”

Ben Speas, off an assist by Marco Franco, had given Indy (2-4-8, 14) a 1-0 lead in the 33rd minute.
